Measurements of mixing and charge-parity (CP) symmetry violation in hadrons containing charm quarks provide complementary constraints on physics beyond the Standard Model to studies of hadrons containing beauty quarks. Mixing and CP violation effects in the charm sector are extremely small, and their observation requires huge data samples and precise control of experimental effects. Mixing was first observed around 2007 by averaging the available measurements from several experiments, including Babar, Belle and CDF. In 2019, the LHCb collaboration reported the first observation of CP violation in charm decays. This seminar will provide an overview of recent charm mixing and CP violation measurements performed by LHCb, and a brief outlook on the potential impact of current and future upgrades.
